Question Aluminum gas tank fit question.

I was test fitting my CPP gas aluminum tank and noticed that the front part does not square up like the rear. Is this suppose to happen? Post pics if possible. Thanks. MisterE

Mine is the same way as well.

Could you post a picture from directly behind the frame showing what the rear of the tank looks like?? I am trying to decide which aluminum tank I want because I have seen 1/2 dozen different ones and all are differently shaped.Thanks.

Do you know what size the fitting is for the fuel line. I'm looking for one that i can run an 8an braided fuel line into.

Sorry, I'm not sure what size it is. The tank is the 19 gallon from classic performance products. I'm sure their tech folks can answer that question. Good Luck. MisterE
